Temperatures dipped to minus 6C during Storm Emma, alongside a red warning for cold and snow – the first ever in the county’s history.

From here on out, however, temperatures will rise to around normal for this time of year, somewhere in the ballpark of 10 degrees Celsius.

Roys said: “We’re probably going to be bouncing around 10 C for much of the month. I don’t expect any more wild temperatures swings.

“Temperatures could linger in the upper single digits at times, and could climb to 12 or 14 C depending on if we have a storm track drawing warm air out from the Atlantic. Otherwise, we’re probably going to stay around 10 C for much of the month.”

Roys said: “The threat for snow is over with. Over the next week or so, the mountains in Wales could see snow, but anywhere in Somerset – Taunton, Yeovil, Glastonbury - the likelihood of seeing any accumulating snow has gone back down to zero. Even the chance for flurries is unlikely.”

While winter may be ending, the unsettled weather pattern is not.

The threat is increasing for a potent storm to bring moderate rainfall to Somerset later this week.

With the ground already saturated following Emma, moderate flooding issues are likely.
